'Want to protect privacy of our child': Virat Kohli-Anushka Sharma's appeal to paparazzi not to click their baby's photo

Two days after Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma and cricketer Virat Kohli welcomed their baby girl, the duo has made a strong appeal to paparazzi in Mumbai to refrain from clicking their daughter's picture as they want to protect her privacy.

The Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi star and Kohli have sent out a note to the paparazzi fraternity in Mumbai. Anushka and Virat said, "Hi, Thank you for all the love that you have given us for all these years. We are happy to celebrate this momentous occasion with you. As parents, we have a simple request to make to you. We want to protect the privacy of our child and we need your help and support."

The couple added, "While we will always ensure that you get all the content you need featuring us, we would request you to kindly not take or carry any content that has our child. We know that you will understand where we are coming from and we thank you for the same."

India skipper Virat Kohli and wife Anushka Sharma were blessed with a baby girl on Monday. Kohli shared the news via Twitter and said both baby and mother are healthy.

He wrote, "We are thrilled to share with you that we have been blessed with a baby girl this afternoon. We thank you all for your love, prayers and good wishes. Anushka and the baby are both healthy and we are feeling beyond blessed to start this new chapter of our lives. We hope that you can respect our privacy at this time."
